Family codes and ritualsFreddy Woo writes, "as a child we used to have a 'whoever cuts doesn't choose the slice' rule with cake. It worked brilliantly, but it's left me completely anal about dividing up food - my wife just takes the piss as I ritually compare all the slice sizes."
What codes and rituals does your family have?

Two specifically related to car journeysThe first is that we'd all pretend my brother being constantly travel-sick didn't bother us, that the smell was that of spring flowers and the sounds just another of the car's audible eccentricities. Three brothers in the back, two constantly competing to be the one sat furthest away from Mr Puke.
The second... we would again pretend that our parent's constant bickering about directions, maps, destinations and other meaningless shite didn't make us all want to throw up anyway.
